Current Summary of Changes to the Coded Law File

Law File Changes – February 2012

Note: Laws added to the file since the last posting on August 24, 2011 begin with relative address/law ordinal 8150. Be aware, however, that changes/corrections have been made to existing laws. A summary is shown below, but may not be complete. We recommend that you overwrite the existing law file with the new one.

Most notable is the addition of the MCDV_charge_indicator added to the NYS Coded Law file. This indicator was added to capture Misdemeanor Crimes of Domestic Violence pursuant to A 698-D.

With this new posting, a new file format is available to replace the legacy mainframe flat file, the content however is based on our Oracle table as the mainframe law table no longer exists due to the decommissioning of our mainframe.
